mounting strips for the grille slats, printed in glass filled nylon. The end caps for the grilles were printed in white PETG on a smooth plate, so that the visible edge is smooth.

#3Dprint

3D printed supports for the grille strips. They are resting on an anti-splash screen on a wok induction hob. The rearmost is a simple castellated shape with nubs to engage with the grille strips. The front two are similar but with the addition of v-shaped prominences to accept the nuts and bolts for mounting the control panel. In the background 3D printed end caps for the grille can just be seen

Reminds me that I haven’t posted a picture of mine. The interesting thing about it is the 3D prints that aren’t visible. The ventilation grille is [factory] made from bent strips and supplied with plastic mounts, but these mounts were too short and didn’t allow for the insertion of the control panel, so I 3D printed replacements that screw to L-shaped pieces of MDF behind the grille.

An induction hob for a wok with an anti-splash screen covering the hob itself. The hob is mounted through a stainless steel surface. Beneath the surface runs a red acrylic strip and beneath that is a horizontal-slat ventilation grille with the control panel (a knob and display) set into it.

3D design software for 3d printing? in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

@squaresinger @Snafucode In OpenSCAD you can pass the resolution variables as arguments to the function, so it’s not quite as bad as you are implying. See eg https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD/_User/_Manual/Primitive/_Solids#sphere

I finished my 3D Printable screw design! Excellent print ability, reliable for simple use, though the head is prone to strip... can't win them all. in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

@Fondots @Bluewing especially since the terminology is different in different dialects of English. I think what you call lag bolts might be coach bolts over here.

when can we expect affordable steel/metal printers to hit the market? in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

@IMALlama @Live_Let_Live I wonder if a design for a metal FDM printer based on MIG could work?
